For the complete news, please follow the online link given below each news. Please note that the news summary doesn’t reflect the opinion of BRAC EPL Stock Brokerage Limited. Bangladesh Bank (BB) blames banks’ misrepresentation of trade policy amid Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) fall ■ The Bangladesh Bank on Wednesday blamed authorised dealer banks for misrepresenting the country’s trade policy and putting Bangladesh’s economy at stake even after adoption of a liberal trade policy in the 1990s. A BB circular issued by its executive director Mohd Humayun Kabir on the day raised the allegation at a time when many global businesses were exploring their options to shift their manufacturing units elsewhere from China amid the mounting US- China trade war. Besides, the 56.0% fall in foreign direct investments last year could be another reason behind issuing the BB circular. The country’s FDI inflow dropped to USD 1.6 billion in 2019 from USD 3.6 billion in the previous year. ■ According to an official of the central bank said that the banks were mostly unaware of the government’s policy on foreign direct investment attraction which was why many of the banks, dealing with foreign customers, failed to provide them with the required guidelines. As a result, many potential clients got the wrong idea about the country’s liberal trade policy, prompting the central bank to come up with the circular.

  • Revitalization of Waqf for Socio-Economic Development, Volume II
    Revitalization of Waqf for Socio-Economic Development, Volume II “The benefcial impact Zakat and Waqf on achieving SDGs can be achieved by integrating them with the fnancial sector. Providing interest free loans to poor and vulnerable people from Zakat and Waqf sources will assist them to become less vulnerable and more resilient, thus allowing them to take part in produc- tive economic activities. It is imperative to expand the Zakat base, develop exist- ing Waqf properties for income generation, and enhance the effciency of these institutions to revive Zakat and Waqf for social development. The anthology of scholarly papers offers comprehensive knowledge about this important aspect of Islamic social fnance.” —Dr. Mulya Effendi Siregar, Chief Commissioner, PT Bank Syariah Mandiri, Indonesia “This edited volume on waqf results from a workshop on the ‘Revival of Waqf for Socio-Economic Development’, jointly organized by the Islamic Research and Training Institute (IRTI) of the Islamic Development Bank Group, Islami Bank Bangladesh Limited (IBBL) and the Center for Zakat Management (CZM), in Dhaka, Bangladesh during November 4th–5th 2017. The focus is on sustainable development, legal issues and management strategy. This book rep- resents a valuable addition to the literature on waqf from a contemporary per- spective. It should be essential reading for both academic researchers and those involved in waqf management professionally.” —Rodney Wilson, Emeritus Professor, Durham University, UK “The institutions of zakat and Awqaf have jointly played an important role in socio-economic development of Muslim societies and are still capable of offering a universal solution to achieve SDGs. Along with the private and public sectors, Awqaf, in particular, is capable of serving as an effective vehicle for sustainable development.
